Looney Tunes Cartoons World Premiere At Annecy International Animation Film Festival 2019

Warner Bros. Animation has been busy producing brand new Looney Tunes shorts based upon the original classic shorts that made Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and the many other Looney Tunes characters world famous. The brand new short-form cartoons, collectively referred to as “Looney Tunes Cartoons” will have its world premiere at the Annecy International Film Festival in Annecy, France on Monday 10th June 2019 as part of the festival’s opening ceremony playing alongside Playmobil: The Movie. The new Looney Tunes Cartoons shorts will be shown during publicly accessible open-air screenings on Monday 10th June.

At the Annecy Animation Festival on Wednesday 12th June, there will be a special Looney Tunes Cartoons session with Peter Browngart (Looney Tunes Cartoons Executive Producer, creator of Cartoon Network’s Uncle Grandpa and Secret Mountain Fort Awesome), Alex Kirwan (Looney Tunes Cartoons Supervising Producer), Audrey Diehl (Vice President, Series, Warner Bros. Animation) and Sam Register (President, Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Digital Series, creator of The Looney Tunes Show and Cartoon Network’s Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, executive producer of Teen Titans Go!). At the session more shorts will be shown and there will also be a behind-the-scenes look inside the production of the brand new Looney Tunes shorts.

Each season of Looney Tunes Cartoons will feature 1,000 minutes of brand new Looney Tunes animation which will be distributed on the internet and on television. Looney Tunes Cartoons is heavily influenced and inspired by the high production value and process of the original Looney Tunes theatrical shorts. In a similar style to the classic shorts, the new shorts also features a cartoonist-driven approach to storytelling. Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and other famous Looney Tunes characters will be featured in their classic pairings in simple, humour driven and visually pleasing short episodes. Each cartoon will vary from one to six minutes in length and each episode will be “written” and drawn by the cartoonists, applying their own unique personality and style. The new shorts features veteran Looney Tunes voice actors – Eric Bauza, Jeff Bergman and Bob Bergen.
